Sentence examples for fault step from inspiring English sources

Harris and Day (1993) performed numerical simulations of rupture propagation along parallel strike-slip faults to investigate a jump over a fault step including the cases taking account of effects of pore pressure changes.

This case fits the limiting dimension of fault step of 3 4 km, greater than which earthquake ruptures would not propagate (Wesnousky 2006), if the difference in slip sense were ignored.

Geometric differences between pull-apart basins are inherited from the initial geometry of the strike-slip fault step-over, which results from the forming phase of the strike-slip fault system.

Sometimes an earthquake occurs on a complex fault system such as fault steps, jogs, or branches (Scholz 2002).

Liveness requires the assumption of weak fairness and holds only for executions with not more than finitely many fault steps per process.

Based on theoretical modeling of dynamic fault ruptures, several investigations were made on fault steps (e.g., Harris and Day 1993; Kase and Kuge 1998) and fault branches (e.g., Poliakov et al. 2002; Kame et al. 2003).

In E2 d 1 3, the strong movements of the Zhen 2 and Hanliu faults controlled and limited the distribution of sediments (Chen 2001), so that the Zhen 2 fault acted as a southern boundary and the Hanliu fault formed a fault-step zone as the northern margin.

Nonlinear time domain simulation is carried out to minimize the error in the measured power to improve the damping characteristics and to assess the effectiveness of the proposed controllers under overloading condition, fault and step change disturbances.

Test signals consider low order polynomial growth of damage indicators with time to simulate gradual or incipient faults and step changes in the signal to simulate abrupt faults.

When a partner cheats, it's his or her fault for stepping out.

In his view, the European Union — for all its faults — has stepped into a historical role once played, for better or for worse, by the Austro-Hungarian Empire and later, the Yugoslav Federation, before they fell apart under the strain of war, nationalist politics and hatred.
